Welcome to Charge: the future of energy
This past weekend Yvonne and I attended the Alternative Car and Transportation Expo held in a converted aircraft hangar at the Santa Monica Airport. Granted, this was not the most auspicious venue for the event, but attendance appeared to be fairly good, in spite of both the obscure location and the limited parking in the area. Indeed, the Los Angeles Times estimated that some 10,000 persons came to look at the more than 100 exhibits. The show, the first of what one may assume will be an annual event.

But hybrid technology paves the way for plug-in hybrid technology which paves the way for all-electric vehicles.increase miles per gallon, fuel saver, increase gas
mileageStill, hybrids run on gasoline, increase miles per gallon, fuel saver, increase gas mileage which is not an alternative to gasoline no matter

NHTSA Hearings 8/4/08
I just returned from the NHTSA hearings held on August 4, 2008 in Washington D.C., regarding the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for NEW Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards (CAFÉ) for years 2011-2015.
IMPORTANT FACTS: You will not believe what you are reading.
1) The 414 pages DEIS analysis was based on an average gasoline price of USD $2.16/gallon for 2011-2020. A calculation approved by the NHTSA administrators/managers. Would you believe it???????????
2) The new CAFÉ rules were also established, negotiated and pre-approved by the NHTSA’s management and clearly with the influence of domestic automotive companies and their lobbyists. We have now established fuel standards for 2011-2020 that are presently and already met throughout the rest of the Western world today (see below).
As one guest speaker said today “are they on another planet?”
NHTSA “NEW Fuel Standards” (2011-2015) decision:
Automobiles are to achieve 31.2 mpg by 2011 and 35.7 mpg by 2015. Light trucks are to achieve 25 mpg by 2011, and 28.6 mpg by 2015.
The NTHSA is also setting a goal of 35 mpg on average for 2020.
America needs to know:
The European Union is currently establishing standards, with a goal of reaching 48.9 miles per gallon for new passenger vehicles as early as 2012. The current EU standard already requires more than 40 miles per gallon about 15% higher than the U.S. goal set for 12 years from now.
Japan currently has a standard of about 40 miles per gallon. Japan aims to further improve fuel efficiency by 17% by 2015, reaching 46.9 miles per gallon.
China has a current average of slightly under 35 miles per gallon. Chinese fuel standards are on target to reach the government’s goal of 35.8 miles per gallon by 2009. China will not only meet, but exceed, the goal just established by the United States for 2020 — more than a full decade earlier.
Australia is targeting 34.4 miles per gallon by 2010.
Canada is targeting 34.1 miles per gallon by 2010.
Under the current administration, purchasing an electric vehicle is becoming more of a necessity rather than an alternative.

Have you seen the Pottle Energy Plan (www.PottlePlan.com)? It argues for plug-in hybrid cars, more solar, etc. You can download the energy plan for free at www.PottlePlan.com.
Moving towards the use of electric vehicles is, without any doubt, the only way to go to stop the energy crisis.
I am spreading the word about an IDEA that will change the way you and I use energy. This idea or concept is called AME (Atmospheric Molecular Engine). If you want to read more about how AME can revolutionize energy, you can go to www.designedsustainability.org and read up!
The people behind this idea need your help in getting this concept off the ground. This idea is currently competing with other green energy ideas in a contest sponsored by Pepsi, Inc.
Please take a few minutes of your time and visit the following website and vote for this idea: http://www.refresheverything.com/ame.
You can vote by connecting to your Facebook account or by completing their very simple registration. Go back every day this month and vote once until 5/31/2010. That's right! You can vote once per day! Help spread the word by telling your friends and family to help this concept get off the ground. You can also post this concept to your Facebook page, or email a link to loved ones.
The number states a decent crowd.Yes there are many consumers who are now aware of the harmful consequences of the fuel emissions and want to watch out for the alternative fueled cars.
Indeed, the Los Angeles Times estimated that some 10,000 persons came to look at the more than 100 exhibits.
